How to Build Career

“How to build a career?” from the view of Successful Businessman Mike Dolan

Dolan spoke to students in Financial Markets and Institutions, a summer class taught by Enzo DiCostanzo, an adjunct professor of finance. DiCostanzo is a Newark native, a 1993 graduate from the Newark College of Engineering and an economic advisor at Samarian Group.
Dolan is vice president at Samarian Group, in Manhattan, where he’s responsible for business development and client relations and a partner in Wealth Management firm Princeton Blazer Advisors. He came to Samarian from Voyager Group, a private equity investment firm, where he was responsible for government relations and business development. He also served as vice president for Voyager Jet Center, a private aviation company servicing clients in the sports and entertainment industries.
Dolan spoke to the class for a half hour about his career and his education at Penn State, and then took questions. College is the time to learn new skills and to work well in teams, said Dolan. One should also study what one is passionate about, he added. When he first entered Penn State, he studied the sciences because he was good at them. But he soon realized he was passionate about marketing, so he switched his major to business.
Many of the students in the class are athletes, and they asked Dolan about the roles of competition, networking and deal making in the business world. Dolan said that athletes often make good business people because they have that “competitive fire.”
“To succeed you must never quit,” he said. “Business is like sports; when the buzzer blows you must leave it all on the floor.”
It’s also important to find a mentor and to learn how to network, he said. “But what’s most important is to learn something that makes you interesting and different from everyone else,” he said. “I get several resumes a week and I want…...

Caution: BEFORE this is done make sure you've relieved yourself of all sources of static electricity. Easiest way to do this is by grounding yourself.
First, you'll need to unwrap the motherboard and the microprocessor chip. The chip will have one marked corner that aligns with another marked corner of its socket on the motherboard. You don't need to apply any pressure - if it's aligned correctly, it should fall into place.
Once you have it in, cinch it down with the lever arm.......

...Article – The real way to build a social network Reid Hoffman and Ben Casnocha
This article is from the February 6, 2012 issue of Fortune.
“Networking” is a very common word now-a-days. It is not only about what you know, but it is also about who you know.
Reid Hoffman is a partner at Greylock and founder and executive chairman at LinkedIn Ben Casnocha is an award-winning entrepreneur and author. The article talks about building a social network. It tells about building a relationship with others requires two important abilities. First, one should be able to see the world from other perspective. Second, one should be able to collaborate with other by helping them and not by thinking what he/she would get in return. Keith Ferrazzi, author, New York Times #1 bestsellers, Who's Got Your Back and Never Eat Alone quotes:
“The currency of real networking is not greed but generosity.”
The article then goes on and describe the ways in which one can diversify and strength his/her network. The author describes that the best way to increase the efficiency of your network is by strengthening your relationship with people who you already have in your network. The article also talks about the weak ties and how they can help you increase the effectiveness of your network. Weak ties are normally outside one’s inner circle and hence have a greater probability to give new information that your close relationship might not. The article then goes on to talk about the three degree of......

...The proper way to build a house
By
Jeremiah Archambault
Homes today is what is needed in everyone’s existence, and range from being as simple as a tent or shelter of branches and leaves, and all the way up to a multi-story palace with several bedroom and bathrooms to your basic single story home. Whatever the structure may be it provides shelter and simplifies one’s life. Here are the proper steps involved to successfully construct a home.
Selecting a location for your house has several items to consider before the construction begins. You should consider the climate, ground stability, availability of utilities, community infrastructure, and available building materials. When looking at the climate of the site one needs to make sure they are not in a flood plain, and also taking in to consideration of the temperature that the house will be built in whether it is intense heat to frigid cold. Ground stability is making sure that the soil is suitable. If the soil is mucky, shifting sand or other unstable earth will likely fall over a short period of time unless they are not built on special foundations or pilings. The availability of utilities is also important if you intend to have power, potable water, telephone and other conveniences, make sure these utility providers offer them at the location. The community infrastructure is also important to look at. Make sure good quality schools are available. Check to see if you are in a police jurisdiction to protect you from......

...Undoubtedly, self-confidence plays such an important role in people’s life that someone with self-confidence is more likely to succeed even though confronting with a difficult situation while people feeling inferior to others can lose chances that they could have got. Then, many people would ask, how to build up self-confidence exactly?
I should tell those people for certain that there is no absolute or exact solution to the problem of lacking self-confidence. For people who are unconfident have different reasons to feel inferior. Therefore the first thing is to figure out who you are and why you are not confident about yourself. For those who are born pessimistic, they should try to look at the good side and always give themselves optimistic hints like seeing the glass half full instead of half empty. For those who are experiencing defeat for the moment, it’s quite normal to doubt themselves and ask the question “Do I make the right choice at the beginning?” But the truth is, those obstacles are what you must learn to deal with on your road to success. So for now all you need is to get some rest and calm down to analyze how come the failure. With some adjustment, you’ll find your confidence and passion in your work soon. By saying rest, I mean traveling, reading a wonderful book, anything that suits you best.
I used to be very unconfident. Throwing my mind back to my middle school time, I once was too afraid or say, too unconfident to stand in front of the class to answer......

...What is the main advantage of the layered approach to system design?
What are the disadvantages of using the layered approach?
Answer: As in all cases of modular design, designing an operating
system in a modular way has several advantages. The system is easier
to debug and modify because changes affect only limited sections of
the system rather than touching all sections of the operating system.
Information is kept only where it is needed and is accessible only within
a defined and restricted area, so any bugs affecting that data must be
limited to a specific module or layer.
2.9 List five services provided by an operating system. Explain how each
provides convenience to the users. Explain also in which cases it would
be impossible for user-level programs to provide these services.
Answer:
a. Program execution. The operating system loads the contents (or
sections) of a file into memory and begins its execution. A user-
level program could not be trusted to properly allocate CPU time.
b. I/O operations. Disks, tapes, serial lines, and other devices must
be communicated with at a very low level. The user need only
specify the device and the operation to perform on it, while the
system converts that request into device- or......

How to build a drive through supermarket
A drive through supermarket, also referred to as drive through, is a supermarket selling day to day ordinary things only that in this kind of the supermarket customers do not get out of their vehicles to buy products. They just drive in line into the supermarket in their cars and buy the goods they are interested in buying. This service will help all kinds of shoppers regardless of their age, disabilities and nature of the goods they are buying since they will get to do their shopping without stepping a foot out of their cars (O’Shaughnessy, 21014).
Over the years, drive through supermarket operators has come up with ideas to make their services rendered as fast and efficient as possible according to Oches (2013).Building a drive through supermarket will begin with the supermarket being located in a place with a big space for several lanes for the cars to use. The lane can be dual lane or single for each direction of the flow of the cars. This is to mean that depending on which direction the customers drove from, at least finding a queue to follow will be easy. The lines need to have a sign that can be read clearly showing the direction of their line and their status i.e. whether in operation or not...

...application developer might choose to run an application over UDP rather than TCP. Give examples of such applications.
3. Why is it that voice and video traffic is often sent over TCP rather than UDP in today’s Internet? (Hint: not because of TCP’s congestion-control mechanism)
4. Is it possible for an application to enjoy reliable data transfer even when the application runs over UDP? If so, how?
5. A process in Host C has a UDP socket with port number 6789. Host A and B each send a UDP segment to Host C with destination port number 6789. Will both of these segments be directed to the same socket at Host C? How will the process at Host C know that these two segments originated from two different hosts?
6. To provide reliability in a transport layer, why do we need sequence numbers? Why do we need timers? Will a timer still be required if the RTT between sender and destination is constant?
7. Consider the Telnet example discussed in the figure below. A few seconds after the user types the letter ‘C,’ the user types the letter ‘R.’ After typing the letter ‘R.’ how many segments are sent, and what is put in the sequence number and acknowledgement fields of the segments? (6 points)

.How To Build a Sand Castle
For young and old alike, a trip to the beach means relaxation, adventure, and a temporary escape from the worries and responsibilities of ordinary life. Whether swimming or surfing, playing volleyball or snoozing in the sand, a visit to the beach means fun. Making sand castles is a project for beachgoers of all ages. Some castles are very elaborate while others are plain. “Why spend money on clay when you can use beach sand for free?” (How to Build a Sand Castle) Move this quote into a supporting paragraph. Quotes cannot be inserted in the introductory – or concluding – paragraphs. Remember your thesis statement must be in your own words, too. Is this meant to be your thesis? Be sure to create a sentence in your own words which encompasses the WHOLE main idea/purpose of your paper.
The only equipment needed in the process of creating a sand castle is a twelve inch deep bucket, a small plastic shovel, carving tools, and an abundance of moist sand. If carving tools are unavailable, a plastic kitchen knife will work, however a pastry knife with a squared off end is preferred. Begin using the plastic shovel, by digging up a large amount of sand (enough to fill at least six buckets) and arranging it in a pile near your chosen work site. “Choose a square site that is close to the water, but not so close that waves will destroy the castle as the tide comes up.” (Sand Castle Tips & Tricks) Then,......
